Can I go back
Comments (11)Home schooling? Are you kidding? Do you want to see me in a rubber room! lol We fought so hard to get the kids into the schools that they are in. I couldn't see pulling them out after what we went through. Kyle's feeling so much better. I treated his ears with the tea tree oil and after 1 dose he had no more pain and his fever didn't come back. Barb I can't believe you are going to have snow. Maybe I should stop complaining. Bruce got most of my plants outside while I was away, thank God. I can walk in my living room now. All my brug babies look good but a couple passie seedlings dried out pretty bad. I'll see if they bounce back. I'm not going to say anything to DH because he must have spent at least 2 solid days cleaning out my plants so I wouldn't have to do it. I still have to empty the greenhouse and now I get to start some of the seeds from the tropical RR....See MoreFuture plant swaps, discussions
Comments (48)Having both attended a spring swap and hosted one last spring, I wanted to post a few thoughts as well. Though I think that elaborate plans for day long swaps and weekend events can be a wonderful idea, I'm concerned about how overwhelming that may be to new gardeners and to those who would only want to attend a few hours of plant swapping and in turn have no place to attend. I agree with Asarum (we missed you at the spring swap), that the more elaborate and lengthy a swap is the fewer people will be able to attend. Weather becomes an issue as it did last spring. I had a rain date for the following week and then some health issues got in the way and we ended up just postsponing the swap by one day. That ended up having a few people not come because of the change and if I remember correctly it rained on the rain date as well. The eastern mass spring swap was larger than the fall swap, which may be do to just having more plants for swapping in the spring, new people coming that had no plants to swap and where looking for plants to start a new garden and where more than welcome to come, and just the fact that it was in the spring. It seems that more people are interested in spring swaps than fall swaps. I myself am unable to attend fall swaps because of business commitments that I have on the weekends, and prior to that, when my kids where in school, my weekends where full of their sport games that we attended. Many times hubby and I had to take turns going to games as both kids would be playing at the same time. I personally prefer the simple, relaxed plant swap with no formal additions added to it. Everyone brings what they have to swap, or comes without and brings a goodies for all, and we just swap plants, visit, talk and have a good time. I'm planning on hosting a spring swap again this coming spring, with the same simplicity that I had last year and I know the fall swap had as well. I've had several requests to host it again and think all had a good relaxing time, and we lucked out with no rain. To those that where at the swap last year, my back if fine, surgery was a complete success and I'm out working in my gardens putting them to bed for the winter and planning my seed stash for wintersowing this winter. Yes there will be tons of wintersown babies needing good homes again this year as well. In no means do I mean to put a damper on a more elaborate type of swap, it's just that many of us are not able to attend anything that is elaborate, costly and might even last a weekend, and would want a swap that lasts a few hours.

Comments (32)I don't believe in narrow-minded, intolerant, provincial, exclusionary and hypocritical religion. I do believe in God and being a good person, and God and I have a great relationship. Betsy, You could not have spoken my sentiments regarding religion or my relationship with God any better. Yes it is a very deep and personal choice for everyone and I think its very sad that tolerance and respect for another person's point of view is not being shown here Arcy. FWIW if you read the definition of the word, all religions could easily fall into this category: Cult: a particular system of religious worship, especially with reference to its rites and ceremonies....See More- 10 years ago
